Performing a multiway analysis on qEEG data, based on the subjects summary, somehow gives a
robust description . A posteriori validation using subject measures can be done using
supplementary points technic to compute subjects scores. Supplementary points is similar to
``prediction" as one supposes the description or the model known and want to compute the
outcome given the new observation. By analogy of its use in PCA:
let
be a Principal Tensor of the PTA-modes of the data,
[dose*time lead band], i.e.
,
one then compute the subject*dose*time's supplementary points of the data
[subject*dose*time lead band] by
. If
performed the mean over subjects summary, one would have in most of the cases
, i.e. one retrieves the
component . It is then possible to plot standard error of means (SEM) for example, as on the
figure fig.8. It is analogue as to do a multivariable regression
(subjects*dose*time are the variables) onto one variable
.
It is mentioned ``in most of the cases" because
may not be equal
to , as the orthogonal decomposition is on the whole space. Then the ``supplementary
points" denomination become misleading and will be called pseudo-supplementary points.
They will generate a different summary component, sum of the original one plus some orthogonal to
it. Looking at the orthogonality constraints in the decomposition it is relatively easy to check
that to first Principal Tensor will always generate true supplementary points and every modes
Principal Tensor could generate pseudo-components mixing only with previous associated solutions
(in the order of modes solutions). Those pseudo-components generated from supplementary points
can be also generated from the decomposition itself and may be worthwhile to consider for
post-analysis. Another way of performing supplementary points is as follow:
let
be a Principal Tensor of the PTA-modes of the data,
[dose*time lead band], i.e.
,
one then compute the subject's supplementary points with the data
[dose*time lead band subjects] considering
gives
.
Notice that this way every subject ``profile" are proportional, as it is a rank one approximation
of the previous method, i.e.
.
